EDWARD Y. MOORE, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.

DOOR-HANGER'.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 418,530, dated December31, 1889.

Application filed August 22, 1889. Serial No. 321.641. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may cancer-n: u i Bet known that I, EDWARD Y.'MOORE, ofMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of Wisconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvenents in Door- Hangers; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear; and exactdescription thereof. v

My iuvention relates to door-hangers; and it consists in certainpecularities of construction and* combination of parts, to behereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings, andsubsequently claimed. i

Iu the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a door-hangerconstructed according to my invention and partly broken away. Figs. 2,3, and 4 'are transverse sections of a portion of a door-hanger andillustrate as many different forms of my invention.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A represents a bow provided at itsends with bends a for the support of abar B, the latter being arrangedparallel to another bar C, that is Secured to 'the main portion of saidbow. z

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, theparallel bars B C are channeled upon theirinner sides to form guideways b, having contracted ends c, theconstruction thus far described being similar to What is moreparticularly set forth in my patent, ;No. 394373, issued December 18,1888. In the patent just referred to the sheave is shown as providedwith a loose axle; but in the presentinvention the sheave D is rigid onits aXle E, and the latter has the ends thereof loosely arrangedinthimbles F, that rotate in the guideways b, above described. i j p p iIn that form of door-hanger just specified the thimbles F are plain andlimited as to lateral movement by the parallel bars B C' and hub of thesheave D; but when said bars are slotted to form the guideways son'emeans must be employed to prevent said thinbles from working off theaxle E and out of the slots. i V

In Fig. 3 I show the thhbles provided at their inner ends with fiangesd, that extend above and below the slots ikthe parallel bars, and thussaid thimbles are retained in position on the ends of the aXle E.Instead of fianging the thimbles, I may upset the ends of the axle, asshown at e in Fig. 4, and acconplish the same result; or various othermeans may be as readily employed for a like purpose. i

By employmeut of' the thimbles F, as above described, the -sheave D isfree to rotate when said thinbles have arrived at the limit of travelin` either direction within the guideways b, and thus I obtain the sameadvantages set forth in my previous patent, wherein the sheave isdescribed in connection' with a loose aXle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a door-hanger, the combination of the guideways, thimbles arrangedto rotate therein, and a sheave provided With a rigid aXle having theends thereof arranged to turn in the thimbles, substantially as -setforth.-

'2. In a door-hanger, the combination of the guideways, thimblesarranged to rotate therein, a sheave provided with a rigid axle havingthe ends thereof arranged to turn in the thimbles, and suitable meansfor preventing lateral displacement of said thinbles, substantially asset forth.

3. In a door-hanger, the combination of the guideways, fianged thinblesarranged to rotate therein, and a shave provided with a rigid aXlehaving'the ends thereof arranged to turn in the thimbles, substantiallyas set forth. m

V In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand,at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of VVisconsin, in thepresence of two witnesses.
